SBDM
School-based decision making, by definition, is "a decentralized, shared process in which the local school becomes the place where most of the policies and plans for schooling take place." It brings together the people who know best what all students in that school need to learn and succeed. Those people are the parents, teachers and principals.
School-based decision making is a way of reorganizing school leadership and management so that those at the school site are given more of the management and decision making responsibility. It shifts decision making from the central authority of the district superintendent or school board to the local school’s educational staff and parents.
A school council (the principal, three teachers and two parents) implements school-based decision making at the local school. Its makeup and role is determined by laws established by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1990.
